I wish MaiTai can make it a bit more in shape. I don't have much stuff so the bag push the insert and everything just goes toward to each other. Anyone has any advice of other brands?
I know what u mean. I had to use a pouch to keep my small items as slotting them in the side pouches will pull the insert in further. I brot my iPad mini to fill up the insert. I had a couple of other inserts as well. One I bot from etsy (not D&C). But it's structured and I don't dare to keep it inside the bag while not in use. I'm afraid it may create an impression inside my bag.
It looks like this:
Inside my birkin
Hi ! I would like to share that I use medium size tohubohu as pouch/bag liner for k25. It's in swift~~lightweight & roomy for knick knacks like handcream, compact powder, lipstick , house/car keys , vitamins , rubber bands for braces , pen etc.
Tohubohu tapers up so there's room for a compact wallet & calvi. I slot my iPhone at the side pocket.

I don't think I have found "best-of-both-world" insert. One tt holds the shape without the fear of causing an impression inside the bag. [emoji20]
Same here juzluvpink. I've tried both MaiTai and D&C. IMO and experience, I'm going for a no insert and instead use my ever reliable LV SLGs for keeping my bag in order.
I'm afraid of the bags losing its shape. When I only had my Kelly, it didn't bother me as my Kelly is pretty firm and I thot as long as I choose Togo I'm fine. I've survived for the longest time on the Very Intelligent Pocket for my stuff with no complaints (except for the sides tearing over time).
It's after I bot my 2nd B that I realised that H bags are not all firm and sturdy (lol). That's where my obsession with (the perfect) insert began...
Now... I have 6!!!!! Other than 1 for Celine Trapeze (left top) and 1 for K32 (left 2nd from top)... The rest were meant for Birkins. Even so, I don't think I have found the perfect one. Lol.
I'm officially an insert-fanatic.
Wow juzluvpink!![emoji10] so which one do you prefer among the many inserts you have for the Birkin?[emoji6]
Personally I like the right bottom insert the most. It is made of blue waterproof canvas with pink polka dot pockets. Really pretty. It's not the most lightweight but I wouldn't classify it as heavy as well.
Although the insert has bendable sides, I don't dare to keep it inside the bag for prolonged period as I'm afraid of causing marks.
MaiTai inserts are very luxurious indeed. But I don't fancy the folds inside my B (works ok for my K32 tho, no folding), so now l've moved the insert into my Lindy30. And I like because I want my Lindy to continue to have the fortune cookie look
I've now purchased another Samorga-like felt insert for Birkins (right 2nd from top). As they are softer, I don't expect them to cause any markings. But frankly, I don't really like the overall construction of the insert for the price I paid. lol. Samorga probably makes better, but it's marginally thicker and heavier.
Well, the search for THE perfect insert continues......

Good luck juzluvpink! Let us know when you have found the perfect one for our Birkins![emoji10][emoji10][emoji10]
Would like to try 7rueparadis but the price is about the same as Fourbi. Not sure if it is worth the money. [emoji848]
Wow. I see them advertised on Instagram all the time but I didn't realize that they were that expensive. That would be a big no for me. I can't see how they would deserve the same kind of markup as Hermes and it can't cost that much to produce these things.
Looking for suggestions for a more structured insert to use in my GM Evie- currently using Chameleon, but too smooshy for my needs. It expands all over the place ( ok, I should pare down what I carry also, but if I'm traveling for 3 weeks and it's my one and only bag, that's a challenge-)
Help please!!
Help please!!
I received my inserts from 7 Rue Paradis, I got one for my K35 Retourne that I will compare to the others I have and one for my vintage K32 Sellier. I just got them today so I've only tested them and tried the pockets but I'm pretty pleased with them. Yes, they're expensive but it's a speciality product for $10K bags, I think they know who they're dealing with here. Since I was dissatisfied with the others especially the Mai Tai which collapses and is too big for the bag. I used it as a liner only but as a functional piece, it did nothing for me as an organizational help. The 7RP fits inside the Mai Tai actually.
My Kelly was a bit slouchy out of the box, her sides poof a little at the bottom and this liner will not push the sides out but keep it upright and not puddle. I wish it was a little lighter but I'm excited to try it out.
The other inserts are: Samorga Gray Felt, Divide and Conquer Gray which is stretched out as I was using it for loose item storage-not in the bag like that and Mai Tai in Charcoal all in the 35cm Kelly style.
